Yeah, considering how seriously I was able to take her even in Bring It On, this is pretty low.

Also reminds me how tired I've grown of Eddie Murphy in the last decade.

NO!! Okay most of her movies have sucked royally, and I only stole "Deliver Us from Eva" from the store I worked at (we were goin outta business anyway. never said I was a saint.) because she looked really hot in it.

Come on, boo. How you gon' support my babies if you keep makin' shit films like this?

 

I got a dick like a mule...with a big dick.

I keep waiting and waiting for Gabrielle to transcend the comedy genre, or be in a comedy that's actually funny, or star in a major movie that doesn't involve someone from the cast of In Living Color. And it looks like I'll continue to wait.

Though Gabrielle has had her share of bad movies, she is still quite the beauty.  Therefore in her case, hope springs eternal. 

On the other hand, Eddie has one venue and one venue only in which he shines...as a little irritating ass that follows an ogre around.  Somehow fate has found the perfect spot for him.  He should stick to that and leave live-action movies to people who do not feel compelled to be almost every character on the screen.  Personally, the less I see of him the better.   

Gabrielle Union is so awesome, but where are the great roles for her to play?  It's really quite a shame because I think she is ready and willing to play some interesting characters, she just isn't considered.  Check out her recent interview with Essence.  She said she has had a down period lately. 

She's an ideal leading woman and yet she keeps getting stuck in crap, and this movie looks no different.  There are only a handful of women getting good roles right now and a chopped off handful of minority women getting good roles.  Poor Gabrielle is that pointer finger twitching on the floor- The Honeymooners, Daddy's Little Girls, this crap movie. 

Please someone make her a lesbian in a good movie!  "Running with Scissors" sucked and I think it was her big attempt to cross over and out of comedy with a dramedy. 

Here's my pitch.  Gabrielle Union, Selma Blair, Sanaa Lathan, Lucy Liu........okay that's all I got, someone write a screenplay! 

"Deep down, I'm pretty superficial"  -Ava Gardner

I am tired of these actresses with potential who get shit roles. I do agree that some of it has to do with the limitied roles for minority women but come on. It moments like these I just want to write a movie myself and hope they cast some of these actresses that need a good role.

 

she's gorgeous

 definitely won't see the movie though. :-)

blah on eddie but she's sexy as hell even with the new hair cut

It might actually be funny. It's great when people don't take themselves so seriously.

 

I wish i could have been a fly on the wall when this movie was first proposed.

She hasn't has any good roles lately but the movie might not suck. Give it a chance! Who knows 80s/funny Eddie Murphy could come back anytime now haha

I can't hardly wait for the horrid and awkward sex scene that will be invariably written in for comedic effect. Of course it will fail to be either sexy or comedic, but when has that stopped Eddie?

Ya know I remember seeing the preview for this in theaters. I remember thinking to myself, "Crap.. this movie looks like crap... " then I saw Gabrielle Union in it and I scream, "NOOOO, not Gabrielle!.. take the house, the dog, my lesbianism(okay no), but not Gabrielle.." I see, she was not spared at all. I used to love Eddie back in the Beverly Hills Cop ways, but lately, his movies are just full of idiolistic values. I saw Norbit against my better wishes, and that sucked royal monkey ballz. Dr. Doolittle was even great, the first one, but the second one was purely made to bring in extrta money with no thought of how it would hurt my head or anyone else's for years later. Oh the suffering. Oh the humanity.

 

I'd have to say, that even though she is in this movie, and I like her LOADS.. it wouldn't sway me to see it. It's like watching a small baby get hit by a car and not being able to save it :( okay not really, but damn. This sucks.

Why does Eddie Murphy have to play as Eddie Murphy in Eddie Murphy in Eddie Murphy's film?

I agree with you, Norbit deserve Razzies. Its horrible.

quote - Gabrielle Union seems like a very talented, promising, affable young actress - end quote.

now, i'm not saying she's old, but at 35 years old, she's not someone i'd describe as a young actress, and also promising. those words i'd use for the, well, young 17 and 18 year olds, etc, who are just beginning their career!

also, this film (although it's probably not based on it) is like a cartoon strip in the Beano comic, except they're not aliens. it's called the Numskulls, and i remember reading it when i was younger, so as soon as i read this article, it reminded me of that!

i do agree with what's been said, Eddie Murphy isn't as funny as he used to be. maybe he should have stuck to stand up!!
having said that he has had some great roles recently, dreamgirls and shrek, of course. gotta love donkey!
